Being a visual person, I was always the one with a camera, capturing nature, gatherings, expressions and special moments. When digital cameras became more accessible to consumers, I was hooked. When I learned that you could take pictures to the computer and be creative, a whole new world opened up to me. I wanted to learn about the creative programs used with digital images and that lead me to digital graphic design.
I needed to know how to bring ideas to design. At this time I was fascinated by design and all the possibilities that software delivered. Having young children, my options for education were limited and while I realize that there are limitations to an online education, I just had to go for it. In 2002, I decided to enroll in a degree program for Visual Communications and Digital Design. Thirteen months and twenty courses later, I graduated, summa cum laude, from American Intercontinental University — Online and began working free-lance jobs.
In 2005, I purchased my first digital SLR camera. I wanted to offer clients photography services specific to their dynamic marketing needs. My goal was and is to integrate photography and graphic design skills for a personalized approach to establishing a visual identity and then carrying it through to print and internet Marketing Strategies for Business and Professionals. I continue to learn and grow as a photographer and designer and really love all the ways I can contribute to the success of businesses. Beyond graphic design and photography, I now work with clients to develop, carry out and keep up a strategic, progressive print and internet marketing plan custom tailored to their business goals and budget.
There are so many times I see missed opportunities where businesses make the financial commitment to take part in a promotion or place an advertisement in a local paper or event program without incorporating their company logo or establishing any kind of visual clue that tells readers, at a glance, they already know this business. I want to work with businesses and increase their potential to succeed and grow by getting them connected, establishing and gaining recognition of their identity, and helping them to grow their customer base and profits.
